A member asked:

Can a 19 year old have alzheimer's disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Unless you have in your family several members who developed alzheimer's disease in an early age, it is unlikely that you would get it. If you do, then there may be a bad gene in you family members that can cause early development of alzheimer's disease.
